DC power output Warning! Before you connect devices to the P3 PowerPort 1500’s power + data outputs, read all the devices’ user manuals carefully and respect the system layout guidelines and limits given in the manuals. User manuals are supplied with products and available for download from www.martin.com. The P3 PowerPort 1500 supplies DC power at 48 V to Martin™ video display devices over hybrid power + data cables connected to the four power + data outputs on the rear panel. Each output can supply a safe maximum current of 7.5 amps (giving a maximum combined total of 30 amps). Each output is protected by an automatic circuit breaker. If an output is overloaded or short-circuited, it is immediately shut down. Outputs can be re-enabled either by pushing the multi-function button on the front panel or remotely via the P3 System Controller. The circuit breaker attempts to reactivate the output automatically after several minutes. If the problem is still there or happens again, the circuit breaker immediately shuts down the output again.

P3 PowerPort 1500 Safety and Installation Guide

P3 video data The P3 PowerPort 1500™ is designed to relay video data from a Martin P3™ system controller to a Martin™ LED-based video display system. See Figure 2 on page 7. The P3 PowerPort 1500 has two RJ-45 Ethernet sockets on the rear panel. Either socket can be used for P3 video data input or throughput. The P3 PowerPort 1500 has four 4-pin locking XLR sockets for combined DC power and P3 video data output to Martin™ video display devices. Note that the P3 PowerPort 1500 has active video processing circuits and must be powered on before it will relay a P3 video signal from an input connector to throughput and output connectors.

P3 video data input The P3 PowerPort 1500’s Ethernet video sockets on the rear cover are designed to accept Neutrik RJ-45 Ethercon connectors in protective shells as installed on most Martin™ P3 Ethernet video data cables, but standard RJ-45 connectors can be used.

Connecting video data input To send P3 video data to the P3 PowerPort 1500, connect an Ethernet cable carrying the P3 video data output from a Martin P3™ system controller to one of the P3 PowerPort 1500’s RJ-45 P3 data input/throughput Ethernet sockets. If required, connect an Ethernet cable from the P3 PowerPort 1500’s unused RJ-45 data in/throughput socket to continue the P3 video data link and relay data to another P3-compatible device.

P3 video data output Warning! Before you connect devices to the P3 PowerPort 1500’s power + data outputs, read all the devices’ user manuals carefully and respect the system layout guidelines and limits given in the manuals. User manuals are supplied with products and available for download from www.martin.com. The P3 PowerPort 1500™ relays P3 video data to Martin™ video display devices over the hybrid DC power + video data cable available in various lengths from Martin™.

Connecting video data output To link the P3 PowerPort 1500 to devices, connect Martin™ hybrid cables with 4-pin male locking XLR connectors to the P3 PowerPort 1500’s four power + data output sockets on the rear panel (see Figure 2 on page 7). Use only the cables supplied by Martin™ for this purpose. Hybrid power + data extension cables with 4-pin male XLR to 4-pin female XLR connectors are available from Martin™ (see ”Accessories” on page 18). Do not exceed the maximum lengths for cable runs specified in user manuals.

Handling DMX and RDM The P3 PowerPort 1500 will relay DMX-controlled video data from a P3 system controller.

Fuse replacement Warning! Replace fuses with fuses of the same type and rating only. The P3 PowerPort 1500 is protected by four 10 amp slow-blow fuses located in fuseholders on the rear panel (see Figure 2 on page 7). If one of the outputs – or the entire device – stops working, a fuse may have blown. Fuses in group 1 protect outputs 1 and 2. Fuses in group 2 protect outputs 3 and 4. To replace a fuse: 1. Disconnect the P3 PowerPort 1500 from power. 2. Using a flat-head screwdriver, turn each fuseholder cap counter-clockwise to release it, then remove each fuse. 3. Replace defective fuses with fuses of the same type and rating. Replacement fuses are available from Martin™ suppliers (see ”Spare Parts” on page 18). 4. Reinstall all fuseholders before reapplying power.

Cleaning Cleaning schedules vary greatly depending on the operating environment. It is therefore impossible to specify precise cleaning intervals for the P3 PowerPort 1500. Cooling fans suck in airborne dust and smoke particles, and in extreme cases, the product and its air filters may require cleaning after surprisingly few hours of operation. Environmental factors that may result in a need for frequent cleaning include: • Use of smoke or fog machines. • High airflow rates (near air conditioning vents, for example). • Presence of cigarette smoke. • Airborne dust (from stage effects, building structures and fittings or the natural environment in outdoor locations, for example). If one or more of these factors is present, inspect products within their first 25 hours of operation to see whether cleaning is necessary. Check again at frequent intervals. This procedure will allow you to assess cleaning requirements in your particular situation. If in doubt, consult your Martin™ dealer about a suitable maintenance schedule.
